A roll up is the most bought display product in Europe and the one most often bought badly. The graphic is printed once and looks the same on every stand; what you are actually paying for is the frame — the cassette, the base and the mechanism that pulls the print back in. That is where a stand either survives thirty setups or curls at the edges after three.
These are our standard-duty stands: aluminium cassette, spring-loaded retractor, telescopic pole, carry bag included. The differences between the four models are real but small, and they come down to base weight and cassette profile.
Standard — 80, 85 and 100 cm. The baseline. Rounded cassette, single-piece base, three-section pole.
Plus — 85 to 150 cm, and the only model here that goes to 150. Choose it when the graphic has to fill a wide gap or stand behind a table.
Mondo — 85 to 120 cm. Slightly heavier base, which matters in a draughty entrance or an exhibition aisle where people brush past.
Olmo — 85 cm. Compact, lightest of the four, for a stand that travels by public transport rather than by car.
Width is decided by viewing distance, not by budget. At 2–3 metres — a reception desk, a shop entrance — 85 cm is plenty and a wider stand just blocks a walkway. At 5 metres or more, in a hall or a foyer, 100 to 120 cm is the minimum that reads. 150 cm is for filling a stand backdrop, and at that width the graphic needs to be designed for it rather than scaled up.
Height: all of these stand around 200–215 cm. In a room with a 210 cm door frame, measure before you promise.
Reprintable: the graphic is replaceable on all four. Keep the frame, order a new print next campaign — roughly a third of the cost of a new stand.
Bag: included, and it is the reason the stand survives transport. A stand carried loose in a car boot will be damaged.
If the stand lives permanently in a showroom, or if it is set up and packed down every week, go to a premium frame — the mechanism and the base are the parts that fail, and they are what the extra money buys. If it is seen from both sides, you need a double-sided stand. If it will be photographed under lights, fabric removes the glare that PVC film cannot.
Scale: 1:1, minimum 150 dpi.
Colours: CMYK. Send Pantone references separately if an exact brand colour matters.
Fonts: converted to curves.
Files: TIFF, JPG or PDF.
Bleed: leave 40–60 mm extra at the bottom — that part rolls into the cassette and is never seen.

Viewing distance decides it, not budget. At 2-3 metres — a reception desk or a shop entrance — 85 cm is plenty and anything wider blocks the walkway. At 5 metres or more, in a hall or foyer, 100 to 120 cm is the minimum that reads from across the room. 150 cm is for filling a backdrop, and at that width the graphic has to be designed for it rather than scaled up.
Yes on all four models here. The cassette opens and takes a new print, which costs roughly a third of a new stand. That is the main argument for a standard frame over a budget one: the frame outlives several campaigns.
Around 200 to 215 cm depending on the model. Measure the doorway and the ceiling before promising a client a stand — a 210 cm door frame and a 215 cm stand is a problem discovered at the worst moment.
A file at 1:1 scale, minimum 150 dpi, CMYK, fonts converted to curves, as TIFF, JPG or PDF. Leave 40 to 60 mm extra at the bottom: that strip rolls into the cassette and is never seen.
